We are a fellowship of community and faith oriented people. Our gifted visionaries and gifted spiritual leaders are Bishop and Mrs. Parnell M. Lovelace, Jr. We are a non-denominational, diverse, Spirit-filled and formed church. We believe in a Spirit-empowered, balanced, and structured approach to ministry. Therefore, we seek to present with clarity, openness, scriptural foundation, and unconditional love and acceptance of all people. We stress progressive and fervent dedication towards ministering the gospel and Jesus Christ and His Kingdom.The Center of Praise Ministries was conceptualized from the visionary directive given to our founder and visionary, Bishop Parnell M. Lovelace, Jr. While a student at Oral Roberts University, Bishop Lovelace was given the mandate to begin a ministry in his native home of Sacramento, California. The ministry has served to embrace people of all backgrounds with a message of unconditional love and abundant grace.
